What is a fractional compliance officer and what do they do?
A fractional compliance officer is a senior leader who works part time as a member of your team to help sales move faster and more smoothly. They build your risk map, policies, training, vendor and marketing reviews, and help with readiness for SOC two or ISO standards.
